A.Vogel Echinaforce Echinacea Drops | Relieves Cold & Flu Symptoms by Strengthening The Immune System (100 ml)

This is an excellent product and is especially effective when taken prior to exposure or immediately after. By that, anyone vulnerable, [Young, old or immunity compromised] is especially at risk because they are less out and about in the 'sea of infection' that is the general working population, [exception being young school children, who's immune system isn't as strong as it will ultimately become]. These are the people who especially need this product. WHY???ANY person going out into public places especially using public transport, [crowded PT especially], who doesn't do this as a matter of routine eg., work, is liable to pick up an upper respiratory tract infection or other infectious virus and become unwell.If, knowing that they are going to be doing this, they start taking Echinacea 1-2 days before the exposure preferably, but also IMMEDIATELY after exposure, and continues for 5 - 7 days is very unlikely to develop an infection. This is because Echinacea strengthens the immune system and does it to such an extent that taken BEFORE exposure, the immune system is sufficiently enhanced to fight off infection immediately on exposure so the infection doesn't get a chance to develop.Even if taken within a short time after exposure to any viral infection it will usually have the same effect, but continued ongoing supplement as per instructions, [quoted above], is also necessary. No doubt similar for bacterial infections, but have not had experience with that.I NEVER travel into London without taking echinacea beforehand. I had found, after retirement, that I would end up 2/3 days after using the Tube to visit my son in London, that I would go down with an upper respiratory infection. I was always catching something going out into crowded places, mainly because our community has expanded greatly into a much more cosmopolitan mix, where pathogens not normally present in the UK are now in abundance and many people have no resistance to them. Worse for the groups above mentioned. An elderly Aunt who every winter had terrible bronchitis passed the information about Echinacea on to me as she'd not had a bout of bronchitis, since she started taking it 5 years before. I'm now well armed and also take it when family members succumb to a particularly nasty respiratory tract infection, running rampant through the school children AND parents and taking a long time to shake off. I DON'T CATCH ANYTHING; reason being that I take Echinacea at the first hint. When my Daughter takes it straight away she doesn't succumb either. My son in Law rarely catches anything, but he has travelled the world during his working life, maybe that helps.Finally this is an excellent price in comparison to High Street shops. It is in tincture form so has a long shelf life too. The bottle arrived very quickly and well packaged. Thank you Amazon.

Doing the job, only been taking a few data feeling better already!

I've been using Echinacea tincture for over 15 years and it has never failed to stop each cold in its tracks, usually within a few hours from its onset. The secret is, I believe, in the dosage and in using it at intervals. If you take 1 tsp every hour, your immune system will definitely kick in and attack the 'naughty critters' out there.Keep taking Echinacea during your wake hours and don't stop when you feel better but keep going for 2 more days. I haven't had a full developed cold for years and years.One tip: put your tincture in a spoon of boiling water, shake slightly and see the alcohol evaporate. Voila'! Now it's perfectly safe for those who are teetotal. If the taste is not great for you, simply add a bit of water and/or honey.As for oral hygiene, Echinacea is also astounding to be used added to your mouth wash if you have problems, or simply applied directly where you have an abscess, mixed with Bentonite Clay and 1 capsule Slippery Elm gruel. If Slippery Elm is not available, just use regular toothpaste. It will stick to the gums for a while. It will take care of the abscess in a few hours, drawing out toxins amazingly fast. The swelling decreases very quickly. I love it!A good source of Bentonite Clay is of course Dr. Schulze Intestinal Formula #2 - another fantastic product!As a Family Herbalist, I recommend this product but also realise that if we keep getting colds and infections, then a good detox and colon/liver cleanse will be a good start to automatically reduce the reoccurrence of many health problems.

Was recommended this product as a remedy for a horrendous cold I was experiencing, wasn't entirely sure on how effective it would be. Safe to say, the cold I had was one of the worst i'd experienced in years and this helped me through it so quickly. It boosted my immune system and helped me remedy the cold within a couple of days, and considering that when I do get colds (rarely) they tend to last a couple of weeks this was fantastic. Now use a few drops in some water during cold seasons to increase my immunity.However, I will say this as a warning. It does not taste very nice. It's not too bad but definitely not the most enjoyable to drink, but when mixed with a bit of water (100ml roughly) it's easier to gulp it down and have it over with. Either way I would definitely recommend this product and will be making sure to repurchase when this runs out (will take a while as the bottle size is fantastic for the price), will be a staple in the medicine cabinet.-Nasya.

Very effective and the taste isn't too overpowering. Will last me a while. Definitely helps give the immune system a boost when you need it. The instructions are clear and the results are top notch.

I was recommended echinacea by an elderly colleague after he noticed I was constantly sick with colds and flus.I use 15 drops in a cup of water just once a day and it completely stops me catching a cold. I usually get sick every few weeks and I can’t believe how well these work. I don’t have a blocked nose anymore and it’s honestly the best I’ve ever felt. You get used to the taste very quickly, if you’re sensitive to taste, have it will a little juice or something.The price is steep but it’s for a good reason. I will continue to use these for life!

I've used Echinacea for years and love it. Always clears up a cold quickly for me and I'm always recommending it, however doesn't quite taste the same this time and it is lighter in colour. I've found a lesser result this time after a few doses – hence the reason for four stars in places.

Use them properly and they work I am a teacher I pick up bugs every day from the little beggars …. Try it
